Our annual holiday show/singalong and potluck will be headlined and led by the dynamic duo Bettman & Halpin. Bring your holiday spirit, your enthusiasm for singing, and something yummy for the potluck! Last names A-Q, please bring appetizers; R-Z, please bring desserts. Check below for more details.
Leading us in holiday song will be folk/Americana talents Bettman & Halpin. Their concerts combine high-energy upbeat bluegrass/roots inspired compositions, beautiful ballads with soaring vocals and heartfelt lyrics, and groovy feel-good songs that audiences will be singing in their heads for weeks thereafter. Interspersed between these songs and instrumentals, they tell stories. They have been touring as a duo since 2008, and incorporating a trio and quartet since 2013.
Stephanie Bettman & Luke Halpin have a well-earned reputation for hypnotizing performances filled with irresistible lyrics, transcendent harmonies and roof-raising instrumentals. They have twice been a featured act at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, KS along with musical heroes Byron Berline, Michael Martin Murphy w/ Pat Flynn, and Tommy Emmanuel. They can also be found performing at various arts centers throughout the US and abroad. Touring together since 2008, Bettman & Halpin have been recognized in various Regional and National competitions, including:
Grand Prize Winners in the So Cal Live Acoustic Music Competition; Winners in Southern California’s Topanga Banjo / Fiddle Contest; Most Wanted Artists at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival;
Music Connection’s Top 25 New Music Critiques.
Their 5 CDs have received national and international radio play along with critical acclaim, reaching the top 10 and top 5 on the National Folk DJ chart and number 1 on The Roots Music Report.
